Summary

Milk Disposition and Income: Final Estimates by State, 2003-2007, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural 

Statistics Board, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Statistical Bulletin No. 1027. 

Introduction: This bulletin presents final estimates, including revisions made by the Agricultural Statistics Board 

(ASB), for the production years 2003 through 2007. The disposition and income from milk production for 2003-2007 

were published during calendar years 2004-2008. Data included in this publication provide a historic record and a 

benchmark for current estimates. Number of milk cows, production per cow, and total production were published in 

Statistical Bulletin No. 1022. 

Procedures: Revisions were made after a thorough review of the original survey data and all additional data now 

available, including the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Other data series considered included Federal Milk Market Orders, 

receipts of milk by plants and dealers, and any other available administrative information. The 2003-2007 estimates 

shown herein are considered final and will not be revised again. 

At the National level, revisions to estimates of milk production and annual number of milk cows were less than one-half 

of one percent.
